Anyone else have fancy keyboards? I bought a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate a few months ago and I love it. I've always been a fan of mechanical keyboards, and having one with programmable and backlit keys is just awesome.

Anyone else have anything similar?

Here's a pic of what it looks like:

I don't, but I have been looking at getting one.

It looks quite expensive though, compared with other keyboards, and I have been wondering about wether it is worth it.

I don't but I want one.

Need windows 7 and a HD screen first.

You're right, it is super expensive compared to other keyboards. And it isn't for everybody, mechanical keys can be pretty loud depending on how you type. The packaging has cutouts so you can feel what the keys are like before buying it. There's a less expensive one without backlights.

Sexy.
I always end up spilling coffee or tea all over my keyboard and I use it as a paint mixing space so I will never invest in something expensive. I need to buy a new one every year anyway.

I've got one of those circle keyboards for playing FPS games.
Its awesome. almost full access keyboard with one hand.

I have bought a couple of "fancy" keyboards but I always go back to my Logitech Wave which costs around £20, it does everything I want and feels great.

There are actually drainage holes in the bottom of this one, and with mechanical keyboards you can replace the separate switches that the keys affix to, as opposed to cheaper keyboards that use a rubber membrane. So you might save money over time with one of these!

I prefer normal ones. Don't see the point of spending more money on something that I could do with my keyboard.

Yea I prefer old school ones anyways. I like hot responsive the keys are and how durable they are. I have children......they can murder a fancy pricey keyboard. The one I have currently is older then both of them by alot, and has been drowned, melted food, candy, toys, dropped, stepped on and once, puked on. Still works like a champ!
